Emberli Pridham, best-selling children's author, introduces A Real-Life Fairy Tale series, a collection of illustrated biographies chronicling the lives of extraordinary women whose contributions changed the world. With thought-provoking text and original illustrations, each book in the series is designed to introduce children to several of the most distinguished women in contemporary history. If anybody can be called an American Princess, it's Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, the First Lady who set the standard for grace and intelligence in the White House. In this lovely picture book, young children can follow along as Jackie grows from a bright, precocious young girl to graduating at the top of her high school class. She made a splash in the New York social scene, before heading off to college in the U.S. and later in France. But destiny called her back home where she met and married John F. Kennedy, soon to become the President of the United States. She quickly made her mark on the White House, beautifying it inside and out. But her influence didn't end in Washington. She continued to be a strong advocate for culture and the arts for the rest of her life.
